stanford aud the snob.

Senator Stanford. of California, it is
well known about Washington, has the
fastest horses in this part of the coun-
try, and he is very fond of ride behind
one of his fllers. but he never handles
the ribbons. Racing he abominates,
and nothing will induce him to deviate
from rule not to personally try con-
clusions with another horseman. Last
spring the senator was annoyed on sew
eral occasions by horsepower in this
city who persisted in tempting him for
brush whenever they met in the
monument grounds. But all his efforts
were futile, and as the fellow did not
know who the quiet, elderly looking
man was, he frequently bantered him
10 let his horse out just for fun, but the
senator refrained from racing. greatly
to the wonder of the driver who usually
accompanied him from his residence to
the senate. One day, however, there
was change in tho programme, when
the senator delighted his man with
commission. IL was necessary for the
owner of the trotter TO 60 over to New
York, and on his way to the station he
met his annoyer. After reaching the
depot and slowing his valise in parlor-
car the senator called his driver aside
and said Give that man good brush
if you meet him going back, and take
the conceit out of him." This was what
the driver wanted. and as good luck
would have it the horseman was wait
ing for the senator's conveyance just
inside the monument lot "Inside of a
hundred yards" said the senator's
driver afterward, '.his horse was passed
as if he had been standing still, and
MIR. Stanford was never bothered
again. - Washington Critic.

Five Years without a skulI.

A man who lived without a skull fol
nearly five years died recently at Harris.
vile, Ala, from the effects of fall from
train. Nearly five years ago I. p.
Woodall was found lying in fit before
an open hearth, his head amid the hot
embers Of an expiring fire. When rescu-
ed nearly the entire top of his head
down to his eyes had been burned to a
crisp, and death seemed inevitable. He
was carefully cared for, however, and
as a last resort the surgeons removed
the entire skull as low down as the
sockets of the eye, and equally as far in
the rear. An artificial covering was
placed over the brain to protect it from
exposure, and in few weeks thin
film formed over it and, strange to say,
the man lived and retained all his facul.
ties. The membrane never hardened,
and up to the hour of his death, which
resulted from causes not remotely at.
fected by the absence of skull, the
commissions Of the brain could be easily
discerned and its throbbings clearly
seen.

What Boys and Girls Read.

AuaI WHICH, tIic WoTklHS CLASS laus
read is generally of the lowest and
most vicious character; that which Their
sisters read is in no way superior The
boy takes in the penny dreadful; the
girl secures the penny novelette,, which
is equally deserving of the adjective.
Because the influence of these love and
murder connections among girls is not
SO apparent to the public eye as the in.
huence of the burglar and bushrangine
fiction among boys, it must not be sup.
posed that that influence is less real. II
is, in fact, in many ways not only more
real. but more painful. Boys may be
driven TO sea or to break into houses by
the stories they read; their actions are al
once recorded in the columns of the
daily papers. With girls the injury is
more invidious and subtle. { Ii Is almost
exclusively domestic. We do not often
see an account of a girl committing any
very serious fault through her reading.
But let us go into the houses of the
poor and try to discover what is the
effect on the maiden mind of the trash
which maidens buy. If we were to
trace the matter to its source we should
probably find that the high-fown con-
ceits and pretentions of the poorer girls
of the period, their dislike of manual
work and love of freedom, spring
largely from notions imbibed in the
course of perusal of their penny
fictions. Their conduct toward their
friends. their parents, their husbands.
and their employers is colored by what
they then gather. They obtain distort-
ed views of life, and the bad influence of
these works on themselves is handed
down to their children and scattered
broadcast throughout the family, There
is hardly a magazine read by them
which it would not be moral benefit
to have swept off the face of the earth.
1t would be well for philanthrophists to
bear this fact in mind. There is a wide
and splendid field for the display of a
humanizing and elevating literature
among girls. Such literature should
not be beyond our reach. Girls can
hardly be much blamed for reading the
hideous nonsense they do, when SO little
that Is interesting and stirring in plot,
and bright and suggestive in character,
is to be had.-Ihe Nineteenth Century.
